Description
Characterised by the diversity of materials and shapes, the Desk Clocks, created by George Nelson, embody the spirit of the 1950s. This designer liked to reinterpret everyday objects in unconventional ways. These table clocks are a fresh alternative to more mundane time keeping objects. The Desk Clocks feature a high-quality quartz mechanism and a 1.5 V battery. The Vitra Design Museum has re-released these pieces in their original form, which are particularly sought-after by collectors. An original and charming gift for someone else or for yourself for visual interest and to brighten up your desk.

George NELSON
Born in Connecticut in 1908, George Nelson studied architecture at Yale University before obtaining a scholarship to study at the American Academy in Rome. From 1935 to 1944, he was a member of the editorial board of the Architectural Forum. He was then spotted by the head of the Herman Miller furniture company, where he was subsequently appointed Director of Design until 1972. George Nelson set up his own agency in 1947 and designed numerous products that are considered icons of modernism. At the same time, he began working with Vitra in 1957. His iconic creations, which include a wide range of furniture, lighting and clocks, include the Coconut Chair, the Marshmallow Sofa and the Bubble hanging lamps. Particular attention is paid to the choice of materials and lightness. On his death in 1986 in New York, the archives of George Nelson, considered to be the founder of American modernism, were donated to the Vitra Design Museum.
